Time Square


Time Square, often seen as the poster child for what is possibly the most famous city in the world. This was my first stop in the city (only because our hotel was right in the center of it. It is probably one of my least favorite spots in the city because it is crowded with pushy tourists. Yeah, it has lights. Who cares? I was happy to see the Virgin Store though... which was closing. We got a lot of great stuff there for dirt cheap though. Also, I got my first dirty water hot dog there. The thing is, I hate hot dogs. I love those though. There was also a Peruvian Flute Band, and it made me think of South Park. These are my memories of Time Square.

Goal Zero Yeti 500X - Initial Review

    I bought a Goal Zero Yeti 500X portable generator at REI this weekend, and it seemed like a great excuse to write about it. I picked it up because I've always wanted to play with solar power, and I have at least one 10 day hiking/camping trip planned for the fall this year. I had been stressing about my photography stuff being off the grid for so long. I didn't want to deal with trying to charge my camera batteries (which are old) off the car alone. I also like backing up my photos to a laptop when I'm on trips, just in case. With all of that in mind, below are some initial thoughts.      I have known about the company, Goal Zero, for years now. Basically, they make solar panels and chargers/generators. They have quite the product line, from small phone chargers up to massive generators to run appliances. I'd been drooling over them, and solar power in general, from a distance until now.     Let me start with somewhat of a con, which I noticed befo...

Jakob Dylan and Three Legs

     First, sorry about the quality. We all know by now how picky people are about you taking large SLR cameras in, and they are hard to hide. That leaves me with my powershot and grain.      Anyway, it was an amazing show. Jakob Dylan is a really nice guy too. IF you ever get the chance to meet him, I highly recommend it. They played a lengthy set that ended with "Three Marlenas" (A Wallflowers song from back in the day, and personal favorite), bantered a lot, sang to a baby, and so on. It is clear they were having a great time playing, and that always makes me feel good about being there. He also played a good cross-section of music from the new album "Women and Country" and his last album, "Seeing Things".

Macbook Air 2020

      I wanted to take a moment to discuss some computer stuff. I have always been torn as a computer user. I really like Macs, but I also really dislike macs. I bought a Macbook Air this weekend, and I've been having a lot of feelings.      In case you don't know, I built my own desktop PC in 2011. I still use it today, with minimal upgrades. I maxed out the RAM, added more harddrives, and upgraded the videocard over the years. That's about it. It has been nice for a major base of operations for my photos and gaming. The portability on it sucks though. Because of that lack of portability, I've always kept a laptop around. When I worked at newspapers, we always had Macs, so my first good laptop in college was a Macbook Pro. I loved it. I've had many macs over the years, desktop and laptops, but that Macbook Pro was the game changer. That desktop tower of mine is starting to age out though. The processor mostly doesn't keep up well anymore. However, since it...
